RIO LINDA, CA – Rio Linda Online extends a heartfelt congratulations to local resident Xavier Breazell, who has achieved a remarkable academic milestone. Xavier, a student who has embraced the challenges of autism with inspiring determination, has not only earned his high school diploma but did so an impressive six months ahead of schedule.
This June, Xavier had the well-deserved honor of walking with his graduating class, a proud moment for him and his family. His journey to this achievement has been one of immense hard work and perseverance. The learning challenges that can accompany autism never stood in the way of his goals.

He was previously featured on Rio Linda Online for his spectacular holiday light displays, a passion project that brought joy to his neighborhood and even won him first place in the 2024 Holiday Lights Contest. His meticulous and festive creations showcased a creative and determined young man.
Behind this exceptional young man is his amazing mother, Dana Thompson. Her unwavering support and belief in her son have been a cornerstone of his success. The note shared with Rio Linda Online rightfully acknowledges her for “never giving up on him.”
